Dear.
Medford folk- celebrated V-E
Day Tuesday with the rest of the
nation, but it was a quiet cele
bration. After waiting for tne
final announcement for several
days and experiencing a few
"false alarms," people heard the
news calmly and took-up their
tasks as usual. Probably it will
be a different story when the
Japanese are conquered and the
war is really over.
Big news for Thursday was a
wire from Washington stating
that the Camp White station hos
pital had been released to the
navy. The large hospital has
been almost completely idle for
many months. Also interesting
was the news that the PUC has
granted permission for the Rogue
Transit company to operate a
bus between Medford and Ash
land and intermediate points.
Occupying the attention of the
city now are a number of pro
jects. Including organization of
the Medford Hoard of Christian
